it's Christmas Day and someone just ruined my day..

December 24, 2010 6:57am CST
I am very happy this morning because I know that when the mmidnight comes, It'ss already Christmas. My activities for the day were pretty much the same as the previous ones and I did my activities with a smile. Then, here comes one text. It is from the person I consider as "special", and his text is a "group message" greeting all of us (his friends). What made me disappointed about the message is it's implication that he doesn't even have a plan to send me a private message of his greeting. And to say that that person is courting me. I'm very disappointed. I'm sad. I don't know how to regain my "good mood" back.

how do i get my good mood back. I go shopping mostly window shopping. I enjoy going to the mall and watching people. I sit on a bench near the fountain and watch as people shuffle in and out and watch some of the funny things that they do. that always cheers me up. have you considered that he maybe waiting for the right time to send you a text, or tell you in person. maybe he has something special for you and wants to wait for the right time to tell you merry christmas and give you the present. I say just hope for the best expect the worst that away anything in between will be good.

Those would be the best things to do if it happened during the day. But, it did not. So, I might as well do those tomorrow as I have only read them today. ^^. Not because I'm still upset, but because that would be fun!

It's actually your choice if you're gonna tolerate that emotion you're feeling right now or just move on to a more useful feeling to get yourself out of it completely. See, you have a choice, you're just unconsciously choosing the wrong one. Guide your mind to choose the right one and you'll instantaneously feel what you wanna feel.

I'm trying to entertain myself and divert my attention to something elase to feel better. The thought that he is 'taking me for granted' is really upsetting. =(

your mood and emotions really depend on you... you are the only one who can handle it and you decide whether you want to be happy or upset for the whole day... as you say, it is christmas and it is a special day... so please do not let small things to get into you and ruin your mood... take care and have a nice day...

It depends on me. ^^. I chose to be happy after I had some rest. And I am fine for the rest of the night.

Well that's a serious issue. I kind of know how you feel. You expect your special person to treat you nice, in that case to greet you privately, but then you just get a cold greeting, which is very general and carries no personal message. These things are hard to tolerate. You can let that special person know, that you were kind of offended by such move and you demand apologies. But all I can recommend for now is that you go out with your friends and try to lose that bad moment you had to experience today. Have a nice day and merry Christmas!

You got it. Of course I want special attention from him. I already told him similar things before like "trying to be sweeter, and not taking me for granted". But he always forget and do the same over and over again. I regained my mood back after I slept. Maybe I just need some time to rest. =). Merry Christmas!

i don't want to keep your hopes high, but sometimes guys think of surprises in a different way. I mean, maybe he just want to appear aloof then would suddenly surprise you. At least, that's how i am sometimes. However, that is only me and i am not him. So as what the other mylotters told you already, it's up to you to entertain that emotion of feeling disappointed or if you would shun it away. I am just a guy and do not really understand women completely, but sometimes, we often cause that hurt to ourselves by assuming or expecting too much from that special someone. Again, my opinion only. In the end, the answer is still yours. Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! ^^ I enjoyed Christmas and I didn't feel upset anymore. He did not text me at midnight (he really slept) but it's fine. At least my other friends texted me. ^^

At least you've sent her a personal text. I'd prefer that than a group message. It doesn't make me different with all of the other people. I want to feel special. LOL. That may sound demanding but I already warned him before about the things that I want. He said he would not make me feel upset because he doesn't want to lose me. He is such a liar. LOL.

Perhaps if you're not getting the special attention you desire, you should find someone else who will treat you how you deserve to be treated. Also you need to ask yourself if you're treating him with the special attention he deserves? If you're not, why should you expect so much from him? I see that it is now a day later from your post.. so did it all work itself out? Did he maybe have a special surprise for you later in the day to make it all worth while?

I have actually regained my mood back that night after I slept. I have been upset since that was not the only "not-so-good" thing that happened. My drunk uncle stole away my Alfonse (my guitar). I didn't allow him to get my guitar but he is drunk and I can't argue with him anymore. So, I slept. And when I woke up, I'm fine.=)

Hi mabeldaclan! It's good to know that you're enjoy every bit of Christmas. But i just wanted to tell you not to let this person just say a few hurting words and ruin your whole day. I mean it's Christmas, lighten up! People like this are jealous of you and how wonderful your life is going. If i was you, i would react the exact same way. I would be extremely disappointed. However, Christmas is a day we should all learn to forgive and forget and by doing this then can we truly enjoy this blessed day. Stay happy and keep on smiling!

..ey mable.. .I think its not worth ruining your day for somebody else, its your life, not his. if you are unhappy, its like your life's not worth being happy,. ,and YOU are responsible for that. don't give anyone more importance than YOURseLF! as no one can be your true friend, the way you can be! I hope it helps you a bit, and I really wish you a GOOD-GOOD DAY! May all your sadness, worries and all negatives get awya from you.
